I want to create a zip file. Add a folder to the zip file and then add a bunch of files to that folder. So I want to end up with a zip file with a single folder with files in. I dont know if its bad practice to have folders in zip files or something but google gives me nothing on the subject. I started out with this: def addFolderToZip(myZipFile,folder): folder = folder.encode('ascii') #convert path to ascii for ZipFile Method for file in glob.glob(folder+"/*"): if os.path.isfile(file): print file myZipFile.write(file, os.path.basename(file), zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED) elif os.path.isdir(file): addFolderToZip(myZipFile,file) def createZipFile(filename,files,folders): curTime=strftime("__%Y_%m_%d", time.localtime()) filename=filename+curTime; print filename zipFilename=utils.getFileName("files", filename+".zip") myZipFile = zipfile.ZipFile( zipFilename, "w" ) # Open the zip file for writing for file in files: file = file.encode('ascii') #convert path to ascii for ZipFile Method if os.path.isfile(file): (filepath, filename) = os.path.split(file) myZipFile.write( file, filename, zipfile.ZIP_DEFLATED ) for folder in folders: addFolderToZip(myZipFile,folder) myZipFile.close() return (1,zipFilename) (success,filename)=createZipFile(planName,files,folders); Taken from: http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2006-August/396166.html Which gets rid of all folders and puts all files in the target folder (and its subfolders) into a single zip file. I couldnt get it to add an entire folder. If I feed the path to a folder in myZipFile.write, I get IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '..\packed\bin' </bl
